Ok for my Temporary Tank I need some drift wood for some hungry plecs, Luckily I GOT WOOD! (hehe schoolboy humor) looking thru my shed I found these two piecies which were originally one piece which was really bulky!

really I think it will be great underwater with plants and whatnot. dry and sitting on a chair doesn't do it justice I'm sure

Very nice!! I never would have thought about drilling and using the little dowel rod things to connect them.

It looks pretty cool. Functionally, I would worry about the top piece blocking light to anything under it though. It seems like it could create a nifty multi level planting effect though. Planting attached pieces on the top surface and mosses and other very low light plants underneath may look interesting.

Putting anubias under the "wings" in the shade might look good, and the shade would help protect the anubias leaves from BBA.

People use that gel type "magic" glue that grabs instantly, to glue moss to wood. I haven't tried it, but I also haven't seen where anyone had trouble from doing that.
